Chapter VIII: Contracts and the Past
Of course, popularity and money have to be grasped with both hands, with Lin Youming's current appearance and fame in the modeling industry, it is definitely not a problem to make money.
The contract signed by Lin Youmin and Quan Encan, the original contract between the two ended as early as last year, and at that time, Quan Encan's commission ratio was 50%, which was a normal rookie contract.
Compared with the seven to three and eight to two of the brokerage company, it is much better.
The new contract is a two-year contract. Kwon Eun-chan's agent's commission is 40%, which is the result of Kwon Eun-chan's own concessions, and the general rookie actor's agent at the beginning is about 50%.
Of course, if there is a brokerage company, then it is calculated separately, and it is light to receive 50%, because the brokerage company has more resources.
As for the 30% or even 20% and 10% commissions, that is the first-line, and top artists are qualified to negotiate.
Friendship is friendship, and the rules in this broker's industry cannot be broken.
Kwon Eun-chan and Lim Woo-chan have a very happy cooperation, and the two are not only actors and agents, but also good friends. Quan Encan's vision is very long-term, and when dealing with Puyu with unlimited potential like Lin Youming, friendship is far more important than money, and giving up a little benefit will not make him feel distressed.
The two-year contract is very short, but this is also what Lin Youmin and Quan Encan have agreed a long time ago, and the contract is signed every two years, and the proportion is appropriately adjusted according to Lin Youming's fame and income.
The studio belongs to Lin Youmian alone, and the expenses of the assistant and other teams also have to be paid by Lin Youmiang himself. Kwon Eun-chan is in charge of his planning, publicity, contact with TV stations, etc., in short, it is networking!
Kwon Eun-chan's connections, in Lin Youming's opinion, are worth the price!
For an artist, you can't simply look at how much he is drawn, relatively, the more popular he is, the more he earns, and the agent will even take the initiative to reduce the percentage in order to keep the cash cow, everything depends on the artist's own achievements and fame.
From the money from advertising endorsements, TV stations, and model shooting, and after deducting all kinds of miscellaneous taxes and money invested in the studio, Lin Youmian has nothing left, in fact, not very much.
Taxes and the like, Lin Youming has always paid on time, maybe he is not famous now, it doesn't matter, but after becoming famous, this is the most important thing, and he doesn't want to get into trouble because of taxes. You must know that the Korean people are extremely disgusted and disgusted with artists who escape taxes and military service.
It is worth mentioning that although Lin Youming's studio is a separate studio, it is affiliated with the name of a brokerage company.
The name of this company is CCM, and the full name is CoreContentsMedia. (PS: corecontentsmedia was founded in January 2007, and this is just for the purpose of advancing the story, avoiding changing brokerage companies, I hope you understand.) )
An agency that focuses on singers in general.
Why is Lin Youmin affiliated with a music agency instead of an actor agency?
This has to start with Lin Youming's father.
Lin Youmin's father is a South Korean, who settled in the United States directly after studying in the United States, and got a green card and obtained American citizenship.
Naturally, Lin Youmin is also an American, a Korean-American. (ps: Don't worry about nationality or something, the main thing is to develop pig's feet with peace of mind, so as not to make a mess of military service or something.) Hope for understanding. )
After years of hard work, his father ran a medium-sized public company and a medium-sized Hollywood production company, helping some film giants produce some outsourced corner shots, and occasionally participated in the production of TV series.
Lin Youming has been with his father since he was a child, and he is not interested in the listed company, but the one that produces movies and TV series.
Influenced by Hollywood since childhood, Lin Youmeng is eager to perform, and he also likes to perform, and even his favorite basketball and football have been left behind for the sake of performance.
As for why you came to South Korea and not Hollywood?
Lin Youlu scoffed, is Hollywood so easy to mix? What's more, he is still a yellow person, and it is inevitable that he will be discriminated against in Hollywood.
Even if your acting skills are at the level of an actor, just with your skin and no fame, you have to make a discount in the hearts of the director and producer, not to mention that Lin Youmian does not have the acting skills of an actor.
Compared with the United States, Lin Youyang, who has specially studied the Korean entertainment industry, thinks that this place is more suitable for his development.
Lin Youming returned to live in South Korea, which can be regarded as returning to his hometown, and his father did not support or oppose Lin Youmiang's becoming an artist.
Having stayed in the United States for so long and been nurtured by American imperialism, Father Lin has always respected Lin Youmiao's choice.
But as a father, he was still a little worried, so he specially contacted an old friend of his in the Korean entertainment industry to help take care of him, and it was said that he was a junior who had a good relationship with Lin's father when he was studying in South Korea.
A man in his early forties named Li Xiuyuan, the executive director of CCM, and the real power. Naturally, Lin Youming attached the studio to the name of CCM.
Because CCM is just a not-so-famous music agency, it can't provide Lin Youlang with any resource help, and because of Li Xiuyuan, he only nominally charges 1% of his income.
This point has not been cared about by the entire CCM, including another powerful faction, Kim Kwang-so, the president of CCM and the CEO.
is just a well-known model and rookie actor, not a singer, and it is not a CCM's dish, so he naturally won't pay too much attention to it, just rely on it, he won't refute Li Xiuyuan's face, this thing is too mysterious......
But it's not useless to hang the name of CCM. CCM is a subsidiary of M Entertainment, and behind it is the huge CJ Group.
With this name alone, it can more or less scare some people.
Even if Li Xiuyuan's main influence is in the music industry, it does not mean that he has no connections in the entertainment industry, for Lin Youming, it is always good to have one more way.
Although Li Xiuyuan takes care of Lin Youming like a nephew, after all, in general, he is still responsible for the company, and he has to get by on the surface! Therefore, in the contract agreement, Li Xiuyuan stated that Lin Youmiang needs to be consistent with CCM in terms of speech and cooperate with CCM's publicity activities under appropriate circumstances.
The right situation...... It's a very vague box, Lin Youmin didn't care too much, and agreed very happily, anyway, Li Xiuyuan won't be okay to pit him, and Quan Encan also thinks it's okay, after all, if CCM starts to do any propaganda strategy, it must be the resources behind M, and at that time, Lin Youlang will be able to get benefits if he cooperates.
A bright future still needs to work your own, and networking is only part of success, definitely not all.
